Over the years we have had several feature, functionality and improvement requests for Fusion Builder from our 240,000+ user base. To make Fusion Builder into the page builder that everyone requests, and the codebase our team envisions, we were required to rebuild it from the ground up and we could not be more excited. We have a Brand New Fusion Builder that is intuitive, performance enhanced, user friendly and packed with features. Fusion Builder plays a major role in site creation and is a vital part of the Avada ecosystem. It allows for quick and easy site creation, but Avada 5.0 brings even more to the table that will change your outlook on what a page builder can do.
